A new show after Yonks!

Waffle follows McCausland’s previous tour, Yonks!, which his promoters say sold more than 350,000 tickets nationwide and culminated at the London Palladium.

The new show returns him to stand-up, with fresh material and the prospect of life after his 50th birthday providing an early target for his jokes. In the announcement, he also singles out hotel breakfasts and escaping his family’s early starts as reasons to look forward to touring.

McCausland said: “I’ll be starting this tour three months after turning fifty, so if I was you, I’d get your tickets early to avoid having to stare at the top of my balding head from up in the gods for the duration of the show. It’s not going to be a pleasant sight from up there. You’ve been warned!”

From Strictly to stand-up

His Strictly victory in 2024 brought him to a wider audience, but McCausland was already familiar to comedy viewers through appearances on Would I Lie to You?, QI, The Last Leg and Live at the Apollo.

Away from stand-up, he co-wrote and starred alongside Lee Mack in the Sky Christmas film Bad Tidings. His work also includes Channel 4’s Wonders of the World I Can’t See and the Radio 4 panel show You Heard It Here First.

The Oxford date falls in the second year of the new tour. Other stops within reach of Oxfordshire include Aylesbury Waterside Theatre on 21 January 2028, Reading’s Hexagon on 3 February and Milton Keynes Theatre on 28 February.
